Suki da yo.
Got rated as Yamato last time (while I was still using my old account candydiver). I'm not sure whether to agree with the Yamato stamp or not, so I decided to give it a little more elaboration and see what people think.

Favorite Quote? Why does it have significance to you? Speech is silver, silence is golden. Because sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut, instead of blabbing out your opinion. If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all. That's my motto when it comes to teamwork. I'll only speak up when I notice something that can be improved and know how to do it.
Based on what others say about me it's: Still waters run deep. Lots of people told me it fits perfectly (I guess it's because I don't seem like the type of person who is sarcastic and enjoys teasing people at times, appearances can be deceiving).
Likes: I'm particularly fond of (almost) everything that's related to Art (Art history, art restoration, Manga, Anime, many artists, ...). Manga & Anime consume the majority of my time; I'm obsessed with it. I don't read a lot, but I like books by Franz Kafka, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Wolkow, Goethe, and Dante Alighieri. Music: Rosenstolz, Wolfsheim, Ali Project, Shiina Ringo, Classical music. Other things I like are: Psychology, Symbolism, Opera, Musicals, Theatre, tea (especially peppermint and rose hip tea with honey), sweets, spare time, silence, kind & patient people, languages,...
Dislikes: Noise & crowds (concerts = pure horror), narrow-minded people, discrimination, prejudice, people who try to tell me what to do or think they know everything about me, horror movies (the ones that are extremely gory), blood, violence.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Why? Here are my hobbies: Drawing, painting, reading (Manga, dictionaries, and definitions xD), being lazy, pretending to be busy, sleeping. Basically all I ever seem to do is lazing around, avoiding my duties as much as I can. I hate reality and prefer to dwell in my own world. I also like to walk around without having a destination, I could go on forever as long as I'm able to walk alone. Trying to adapt to the pace of others is incredibly tiring to me, which is also reflected in the way I treat and view people (metaphor). When I try to behave the way people want me to or when I try to project the image I want them to see I tire out easily, so I kind of avoid unnecessary interaction in general and when I don't I'm not really feeling like I'm myself. And yes, I do realize I'm drifting off, but it's a rare thing for me to ramble so I just let it happen.
Who do you look up to as a model for how to live your life? Why? I adore a few people's work and achievements, but that's about it. I don't have anyone whose views I completely agree with or whom I tend to think of as positive example on how to live my life. Everyone has flaws which is the reason why I don't have any role model, not anymore. I've had a few ones in the past and when I found out about their flaws I was extremely disappointed, so no thanks. I live life my way.
Your best quality? Why? I come off as a kind, open-minded, and understanding type of person, even though I'm simply trying to be polite most of the time. It's pretty practical though, since the good thing about this behaviour is that no one would ever suspect me of acting in bad faith.
Your worst? Why? I'm horribly secretive. I'd rather die than completely open up to someone. I don't really consider it a bad trait, but it's what most of my friends complain about. I'm also very quiet, but that changes once I get to know people. It simply takes me a long time to get used to people. Though I still tend to keep people at distance, even if I know them well. I don't like disscussions and expressing what I think when it comes to private matters. Most of the time I talk about my hobbies and other trivial things. I like to keep relationships simple.
The world's not a perfect place. What would you want to change about it? Why? World peace? Wouldn't work, but the thought of everyone being able to live in peace is nice.
You're not perfect, either. What would you change about yourself? Why? Hm, I'd like to be a little less diffident and paranoid. Sometimes it's really hard to express myself because of this.
Do you believe in people? Not anymore. I have my reasons and I prefer to keep them to myself.
In yourself? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Generally I have very low self-esteem (but I'm good at covering it).
If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why? A character close to Seimei, I really want to know what he's up to, why he's doing all those things, I want to know what kind of role he's playing. He's a complete enigma to me whose mysteries I'd like to uncover. *chuckles*
Anything else? This describes me pretty well (If you don't feel like reading all of it simply read the Oldham's Type Description, it's painfully accurate).
